Rockrose Extract as IBR-Chill in skincare
Discover the wonder of Rockrose Extract as IBR-Chill in skincare
In the world of cosmetics, breakthroughs are constantly being made that not only promote skin health but also enhance well-being. One such innovative ingredient is IBR-Chill, an extract from the rockrose plant that is attracting particular attention for its stress-relieving properties and for promoting healthy, youthful skin.
The power of Rockrose extract and IBR-Chill
IBR-Chill is a water and glycerin-based extract of Rockrose (Cistus Incanus), a plant that is organically grown in the Mediterranean desert. Rockrose is known for its potent antioxidant properties and has traditionally been used to treat various skin conditions. This particular extract is standardized to myricitrin, an active ingredient known for its anti-anxiety effects.
Mechanism of action of IBR-Chill
IBR-Chill aims to block the stress-induced activity of the CRH-R1 receptor. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) activates the expression of the pro-inflammatory regulator NF-kB in keratinocytes via its receptor CRH-R1. This leads to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL1-β, IL6 and TNF-α. By blocking these signaling pathways, it can effectively reduce inflammatory skin reactions caused by stress while also slowing down skin aging.
Effect of IBR-Chill on the skin
The clinical study shows that the application of IBR-Chill results in significant improvements in various skin parameters:
Reduction of skin redness and inflammation
Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines
Improvement of skin firmness and elasticity
These effects are due to the anti-inflammatory effect of the extract, which is achieved by inhibiting the NF-kB signaling pathway and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Physicochemical characteristics
IBR-Chill is used at concentrations of 0.5% to 1% and is soluble in water-based cosmetic formulations. The INCI designation is: Glycerin, Water and Cistus Incanus Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract. This formulation ensures optimal bioavailability of the active components and allows for easy integration into various cosmetic products.
Myricitrin as the lead compound
Myricitrin, a flavonoid glycoside, is the lead compound in glycerin-based extract of Rockrose. It is valued not only for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but also for its ability to reduce anxiety. Myricitrin interacts with the cellular signaling pathways involved in the stress response, thus offering a natural approach to mitigating stress-related skin concerns.
Conclusion
IBR-Chill and Rockrose Extract represent an exciting marriage between traditional herbal medicine and modern cosmetic science. They not only provide an effective solution for combating the visible signs of aging and stress, but also support overall well-being through their soothing effect on the skin. Products containing this extract can thus make a valuable contribution to your daily skincare routine, not only beautifying your skin but also promoting its health.
